Day 1 Estes Park
We will meet at the Estes Park Mountain Shop at 8:00am, where we will acquire our snowshoes and any last minute winter clothing. After introductions, your guide will drive you to Bear Lake Trailhead (9,475 ft.) in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Our trail gradually gains elevation as we head into the winter subalpine forest. We catch a break as we pass by the stunning frozen Nymph and Dream Lakes, depending on the time of season we can hike across them. At Emerald Lake we will break to gaze upon the massive cliff face of Hallett Peak and the Continental Divide. After a warm drink and snack, we will head back a different way than which we came. Allowing us the opportunity to hike in deep snow, where we can experience the beauty of the winter wonderland away from the beaten path!
